IN PUISAYE-FORTERRE
Terres Est-Ouest is at home in a region world-famous
for its pottery. The founder, Dauphine Scalbert, is a recognised expert in Korean
and Japanese ceramics, with 20 years experience studying and working on traditional
ceramics in Europe, Korea, Japan and Latin America. In 1994 she came back to
France and installed her studio at Lain.
She guides students in throwing pots, handbuilding, preparing
clays, using slips, making ash glazes and firing. Ceramists and students from
more than twenty countries have come to Lain, on cultural exchange bases (specially
from Korea, Japan and Latin America). Those ongoing exchanges enrich Dauphine
Scalbert's unique approach to craftsmanship, making Terres Est-Ouest a privileged
place for students of traditional Oriental and western techniques.
A FEW WORDS
FROM DAUPHINE SCALBERT
At Terres Est-Ouest we use a local clay,
a vibrant material with a lively touch, the search for balance with respect
to form and line is utmost in our work. Our decorations are made of slips, textures,
oxides, varied clays and we use seals brushes, bamboo tools. Our glazes are
made of ash, clay... Production is oriented to the table, the hands, the eyes...,
the relation between shape and function is interpreted through the potter's
heart. We welcome your ideas and will help you fulfil your desire to create
exceptional objects to be enjoyed every day".
LAIN
is a small village lost among the hills of Burgundy.
